Program: The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. Based on institutional nominations, the program provides discretionary funding to faculty at an early stage in their careers. Criteria for selection include an independent body of scholarship attained within the first five years of their appointment as independent researchers, and a demonstrated commitment to education, signaling the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to both research and teaching.
Program: In recognition of the growing interest in environmental issues and careers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the National Network for Environmental Management Studies (NNEMS) Fellowship Program in 1986 to encourage students to pursue environmental careers. The NNEMS program is a comprehensive fellowship program that provides students an opportunity to participate in a fellowship project that is directly related to their field of study.
Program: The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) and the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (IOS) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) encourage the submission of proposals that generate extended time series of biological and environmental data to address ecological and evolutionary processes and resolve important issues in organismal and environmental biology. Researchers must have collected at least six years of previous data to qualify for funding, and these data must motivate the proposed research.
Program: The Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) program, sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy, is a Paid 10-week summer internship program that provides opportunities to minority and female students who are pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) majors. Candidates who are selected will have the opportunity to work on focused research projects consistent with the mission of the Office of Fossil Energy.
Program: The Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) of the National Science Foundation announces its participation in a multi-directorate NSF Program: Interdisciplinary Research in Hazards and Disasters. A variety of factors are contributing to escalating personal and financial costs resulting from disasters linked to natural phenomena. The Hazards SEES Program is aimed at addressing the critical need for scientific research into the understanding of natural and technological hazards linked to natural phenomena.
The goal of the ADVANCE program is to develop systemic approaches to increase the representation and advancement of women in academic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers, thereby contributing to the development of a more diverse science and engineering workforce.
